------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mission of the Department of the Army is to organize, train, and
equip active duty and reserve forces for the preservation of peace,
security, and the defense of our Nation. As part of our national
military team, the Army focuses on land operations; its soldiers must be
trained with modern arms and equipment and be ready to respond quickly.
The Army also administers programs aimed at protecting the environment,
improving waterway navigation, flood and beach erosion control, and
water resource development. It provides military assistance to Federal,
State, and local government agencies, including natural disaster relief
assistance.

The American Continental Army, now called the United States Army, was
established by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, more than a
year before the Declaration of Independence.
The Department of War was established as an executive department at
the seat of government by act approved August 7, 1789 (1 Stat. 49). The
Secretary of War was established as its head.
The National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401) created the
National Military Establishment, and the Department of War was
designated the Department of the Army. The title of its Secretary became
Secretary of the Army (5 U.S.C. 171).
The National Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 578) provided
that the Department of the Army be a military department within the
Department of Defense.
The Army Organization Act of 1950 (64 Stat. 263) provided the
statutory basis for the internal organization of the Army and the
Department of the Army. The act consolidated and revised the numerous
earlier laws, incorporated various adjustments made necessary by the
National Security Act of 1947 and other postwar enactments, and provided
for the organization of the Department of the Army in a single
comprehensive statute, with certain minor exceptions. In general, the
act followed the policy of vesting broad organizational powers in the
Secretary of the Army, subject to delegation by the Secretary, rather
than specifying duties of subordinate officers (10 U.S.C. 3012, 3062).
Army Secretariat
Secretary The Secretary of the Army is the head of the Department of
the Army. Subject to the direction, authority, and control of the
President as Commander in Chief and of the Secretary of Defense, the
Secretary of the Army is responsible for and has the authority to
conduct all affairs of the Department of the Army, including its
organization, administration, operation, efficiency, and such other
activities as may be prescribed by the President or the Secretary of
Defense as authorized by law.
Certain civilian functions, such as comptroller, acquisition,
inspector general, auditing and information management, are also under
the authority of the Army Secretariat. Additionally, the Secretary is
responsible for civil functions, such as oversight of the Panama Canal
Commission and execution of the Panama Canal Treaty; the civil works
program of the Corps of Engineers; Arlington and Soldiers' and Airmen's
Home National Cemeteries; and such other activities of a civil nature as
may be prescribed by higher authority or authorized by law.
Principal Assistants The Under Secretary of the Army is the primary
assistant to the Secretary. Other principal assistants include: the
Assistant Secretaries, General Counsel, Administrative Assistant, the
several Directors and Chiefs, the Auditor General, and the Chairman of
the Army Reserve Forces Policy Committee.
Army Policy Council The Council is the senior policy advisory council
of the Department of the Army. It provides the Secretary of the Army and
the Secretary's principal civilian and military assistants with a forum
for the discussion of Army subjects of significant policy interest and
an opportunity for members to consult with other members on matters
arising within their specific areas of responsibility.
For further information, call 703-695-7922.
